First edition published the same year. - The first (and most succesful) of Parry's
three voyages. By August 1, 1819, Sir William Edward Parry (1790-1855) had managed
to sail westward completely through Lancaster Sound, establishing that it was
actually a strait. He then made the European discovery of Barrow Street, which he
named after Sir John Barrow. Continuing westward, he reached the south coast of a
large island he named Melville Island after Lord Melville. Parry and his men had sailed
west of the 110th meridian of longitude, half the distance of the Northwest
Passage, and thereby won a prize of £ 5.000, which Parliament had offered as an
incentive for the discovery of the Northwest Passage. - (Some spotting and foxing as
usual). - Fine.
